dog crate goo help!!!!!!!

My girlfriend who had a mini-Dachshund had the same thing when she crated her dog (who barked for more than hour after her leaving for work). In the case of her dog, this was drool.

well if you think aboot it find out what she did if anything
thanks for the quick response

Pacco's crate was like that...

he generally liked his crate, as sort of his 'dog den'. Slept in it, with the gate open, in the winter when I lived up north. I left him in it, gated, for four hours one evening a month, and I don't remember much in the way of drool. I had to crate him those gallery-opening evenings because he had this tendency to tear at the redwood woodwork by the front door in his excitement when I arrived home and I never trained him out of that since otherwise I took him everywhere with me. Oh, and I crated him in the car, gated - had two crates. He was happy enough to go in it, delight to ride, happy to leave the crate..

Pacco was a corgi, and some of them drool more than others. He didn't do it that much, but when he did, it was probably in excitement at my arrival (telltale drops of saliva on the floor....).

Five hours seems long to me, but I don't know the recommendations.

abe_froman, 5 hours seems very long and your dog might be thirsty
and needs a drink. Why are you crating the dog in the first place?
Is he destructive otherwise?

I have never crated any of my dogs, and never would. I think that's
rather cruel to confine a dog into such a small space for hours on end.
